    From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel special and welcome. Delicious cocktails and small plates! The six of us tried a little of everything from the Maine Mussels to the Steak Tacos, Glazed Purple Carrots, and yummy Nashville Chicken. Highly recommend!

    We chose an early dinner at this restaurant and we were welcomed warmly. The booth we were seated at was comfortable and the noise level was low at first but as the restaurant filled became noisier so we had to raise our voices to hear each other better. The food was creative and delicious and enough for all of us to share. The cocktails, two out of three, a perfect hit. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone I know .

    Second time here. Great service, staff and food. Would always come back. All items on the menu are shareable so that you can try different items. Had a chance to try completely new stuff this time and everything was tasty. Would certainly come back.

    The waitress was very nice; 1 star for service was because the chef wanted to close the kitchen by 9 pm so we were rushed to order as soon as we arrived at 8:30 pm, he left before 9 pm, so when we requested more crackers for a platter of cheese, the waitress couldn’t find any and the manager had left for the night as well, so the poor girl was there by herself serving us (the one table in the restaurant that night) and unable to serve her guests well. If you don’t want to treat your customers decently, you should close the restaurant for the night and not accept reservations. It was an unpleasant experience!
